ALERTS/ADVISORIES/NOTICES/BULLETINS/FACT SHEETS

As part of fulfilling its mission to safeguard the financial system and promote
national security, FinCEN, through its Financial Institution Advisory Program,
issues public and non-public advisories to financial institutions concerning
money laundering or terrorist financing threats and vulnerabilities for the
purpose of enabling financial institutions to guard against such threats. 
Advisories often contain illicit activity typologies, red flags that facilitate
monitoring, and guidance on complying with FinCEN regulations to address those
threats and vulnerabilities.  Financial institutions may use this information to
enhance their Anti-Money Laundering (AML) monitoring systems for more valuable
suspicious activity reporting.
